After a couple days of doing it's thing, here's what I've seen thus far ( Read more... )

In my zeal to do strange and sometimes common-sensically questionable things, I have decided to grow two of the (certified) world's hottest peppers in our family garden area. This is mainly an exercise planted firmly in the "because I darned well can" area of personal growth and exploration. I'm not going to eat them. I don't even really like spicy ( Read more... )

Finally got the final plat map on the property division we've been working on for the past month or so from the surveyor guy. Strange looking at a map and realizing that the polygon you're currently looking at represents your piece of property. A small section of the earth that you lay claim to. Weird, even though I actually make maps all day, but ( Read more... )

I knew you couldn't wait. Yes, you. That one out there. You know who you are, the one that can't wait. Well, here you go ( Read more... )

Last day (few hours) of 2011. Can't think of anything worth writing about it, can't think of anything personally bad about it. A non year. Hope 2012 will be better, at least until the point in December where Quetzalcoatl eats the sun or whatever is scheduled to wipe us all out come December. You know, if the republicans don't do it first ( Read more... )

Finally, it's almost Christmas Eve, when all the holiday nonsense finally makes some sense. I'm dead tired of hearing about it by this time of the year. Since Halloween is now the precursor to Black Friday, which of course used to be known as the day after Thanksgiving, and I've been smashed over the head with Christmas songs for a month now ( Read more... )
